Why?

​

• We all do CI/CD
• mostly limited to our communities’ context
• We all work on solving similar challenges
• generally on our own
• We know there are lots of great ideas out there
• haven’t been talking to each other much
• We believe in collaboration
• happening but we need more

The point

​

• Break the barriers
• Work together as one big happy community
• Enable smooth flow of software from commit to user
• Do cool things!

What about the tools?

​

• Many available
• Gerrit, Github, Gitlab, Jenkins, Zuul, Spinnaker, Nexus, Artifactory
• They help us to do what we need
• design, develop, build, test, deliver, visualize, automate, collaborate
• They should not dictate what we can achieve and how
• We choose and use them as needed to help us move forward together

By the way, who is “we”?

We currently consist of the folks who attended a CICD/Infra F2F Workshop in LA, California, prior to the Open Networking Summit.

By the way, who is “we”?

More than just theory. Pragmatic goals and themes to always consider as a community of practitioners.

Operators and Developers of major CI systems/initiatives:

What we achieved

​

• Now we know each other better
• We share similar concerns
• There are lots of things we can share with each other
• We have community contacts named
• We identified key themes to start tackling

​

OpenCI

Initial Key Themes

​

• Vocabulary, Use Cases, Considerations, Constraints
• Integrating CIs, Event Driven CI/CI Federation
• Means and Types of Feedback, Visualization

What’s next?

​

• Keep in touch
• Continue bringing in new ideas, thoughts, concerns
• Keep pushing!
• Start trialing
• Involve more communities

Having a plan is good but is there anything real?

Making machines talk to each other!
